Erin Ridge North, a relatively new addition to St. Albert, neared its development limit in the 2000s, leading to further annexation on the city's north side. This expansion marked the beginning of Erin Ridge North, a small yet expanding neighborhood situated at the northernmost point of St. Albert. This area is distinguished by its emphasis on easily accessible commercial services and eco-friendly, sustainable housing options.

The population of Erin Ridge North saw a significant increase from approximately 1,292 in 2017 to around 2,085 in 2018, highlighting its swift growth and ongoing development. The neighborhood is particularly appealing to young families, evidenced by its youthful average age of 34.60.

To the community's west lies a substantial commercial area, while diverse residential zoning—including low, medium, and high-density options—offers a variety of living arrangements. The neighborhood is adorned with parks and green spaces, with the Lois E. Hole School positioned at its heart. Although public transit access is limited, the area benefits from low noise levels and peaceful, tranquil streets.
